I'm glad I went with AutoAnything. I was unfamiliar with AA and was worried that the delivery time would suffer because the item was advertised at $200 below retail (compared to REI) with shipping and tax included. But AA delievered great product on time as promised. Attention 2005 - 2010 Honday Odyssey Owners: When the rear hatch is opened, it will hit the box. It's needs another 1.5 inch to clear it, but the box cannot be moved forward anymore. This is true for boxes using the factory Honda crossbars - the box sits lower. This will likely not be true for after market crossbars (like Thule or Yakima) where the box will ride higher. The box just needs to flex a little for the 1.5 inch it needs and you can let the hatch rest on the box. It may scuff your spoiler finish, though. At any rate, I love the box and the way it looks on the Odyssey. I'm glad I went with the biggest one. I was able to load the box with 105 - 110 lbs of cargo. The box is 59 lbs plus 110 cargo = 169 lbs on the Odyssey rack which is rated only at 150lbs. It fine on the 1100 mi trip we took.

Aerodynamic Bars?

Hello, I have an 2003 Audi A4 quattro sedan, no factory installed racks. I am interested in the Thule base roof rack and the Thule 682 Sidekick Roof Cargo Box. For the base roof rack, I was considering the aerodynamic bars, given frequent complaints about noise. Is the cargo box compatible with the aerodynamic bars? I may also be interested in a bike rack; which ones are compatible with the aerodynamic bars? Thanks.

Hello. The Thule base rack (with the aerodynamic bars) and Cargo box will work well together; however, mounting bike racks will require an additional adaptor. Thank you.
